Houseboat summary
Our ship called 'de Ziel', signifies SOUL, is a former freight ship transformed into a comfortable houseboat. It is docked on the verge of the Jordaan. Close to lots of paramount landmarks, yet very quiet at night. We warmly welcome aboard guests who want to enjoy the ultimate Amsterdam houseboat experience. Your own space on the starboard of our houseboat has all necessities you need for a great stay in Amsterdam.
Houseboat description
The private studio gives you a historic ship experience with the necessities you may expect from a modern studio. It has a warm wooden floor and a comfortable heating system that is hidden in the walls. So no need to get cold feet when staying on our boat all year round. A good night rest is assured thanks to the queen-size bed. You will relax while enjoying the rain shower in the fully equipped separate bathroom. Underneath the bed you can store luggage. Good coffee and tea is available and cold drinks are waiting for you in the fridge. Do you see yourself already enjoying a cold beer or wine at the deck during sunset?
You have your own private studio with your own entrance on the starboard of our ship. It is a space with a lot of privacy. You do not share any spaces with us.
We like to give our quests a warm personal welcome. And during your stay you can always contact us for questions and advice.
Our houseboat has a no smoking and no drugs policy. You are free to enjoy the liberties of our city, but not on our boat.
Neigbourhood
The location is perfect if you want to be in the heart of Amsterdam, yet away from tourist masses that keep you awake at night. You will enjoy peaceful nights at our boat as no cars are passing by. You will only see some pedestrians, mostly people living in the neighbourhood.
Discover lots of great restaurants, bars and daily fresh markets near our houseboat. Various super markets are found in less than a few minutes walking.
Highlights are within a few tram or bus stops, or 10 - 15 minutes walking: the Jordaan Area with the Anne Frank House, Westerkerk, the famous 9-streets with boutique shops. Go eastward and you will hit the wonderful Vondelpark, Museum Square and the Leidse Square.
There are various tram and bus stops within minutes walking, taking you to every corner of the city easily. The tram stops 5, 12, 13 en 17, bus stops 18 en airport-shuttle.
Best to park your car at the outskirts of the city. We recommend these parking places: P&R Bos en Lommer or P&R Olympisch Stadion. Make sure that you choose in the parking places a spot for P&R and not the regular places as they are far more expensive. From there you can easily take a tram or bus to the boat. You can rent bikes nearby our houseboat as well. That's what we, Dutch people, love doing most, from A to B by bike.
